Bergmann’s Deer Taxidermy LLC (BDT) will not accept any specimens without a deposit (cash or check only) of at least 50% of the price of the mount before taxes.  A receipt will be issued upon payment of the deposit.  Deposits are non-refundable.  There is a $250 fee for a returned check.  The remaining balance plus tax (5.1% in Waukesha County, Wisconsin) for the entire cost of the mount is due upon completion of the mount.  All final payments must be made in cash.  A receipt will be issued upon final payment.

There is a cancellation fee of $275.00 for a shoulder mount and $50.00 for an antler mount.

Due to the many variable circumstances from the time the specimen died until the time the specimen was received, BDT is not responsible for mishandled or damaged specimens.  If BDT determines that a specimen is not suitable for mounting, BDT will notify the customer.  BDT can obtain replacement capes.  The cost of a replacement cape will be determined by the current market price for a specific cape size.

ALL TANNING IS DONE AT CUSTOMER’S RISK.  Capes are sent to a commercial tannery for tanning.   The average turn around time for the commercial tannery used by BDT is approximately 2 to 3 months (60 to 90 days).

BDT reserves the right to make reasonable changes and/or substitutions in order to complete a mount.  If changes and/or substitutions result in additional charges, the customer will be notified prior to making any changes and/or substitutions.

BDT will contact the customer by phone and/or by mail when the mount is complete.  The customer will call (262) 442-1164 to schedule an appointment to pick up the mount.  It is the customer’s responsibility to inform BDT should the customer’s address and/or phone number change.

Mounts will not be released under any circumstances until the remaining balance due (including sales tax) is paid in full.  All final payments must be made in cash.  A receipt will be issued upon final payment.

Mounts not picked up within 30 days of notification by certified mail will become the property of BDT.

BDT is not responsible for damage to a mount after the customer has picked up the mount.
